Chapter 16 Section ten
The situation in Piaocheng became more tense after nightfall.
The old departments of Old Yu Bo, Hairy Hair, and Black Dog became more active.Zhu Ya's subordinates conveyed the boss's foot restraint order many times, but to no avail.
The two sides almost broke out in conflicts in many places in the city, but both retreated after fierce quarrels.Of course, Zhu Ya didn't want internal strife at this juncture, and the other party didn't dare to break up due to the small number of people; but the situation of confrontation has already formed.
The distressed Zhu Ya received notifications from Shi Dafang again and again, saying that he was still searching.The murderer who killed Yu's family was like a ghost that disappeared out of nowhere.
The fast horse sent outside the city to urge Iron Claw to return to the army also came back, reporting that Iron Claw has stayed in Dai Town and will not return to the city within today.Zhu Ya's brows furrowed even tighter.
——We must survive this night...
In fact, Pang Wenying's troops did not enter the small town of Sangma, but only temporarily stopped in the field, ready to retreat or counterattack at any time. Pang Wenying also began to wonder: Will Iron Claw's troops retreat as hastily as Yu Runsheng estimated?If this estimate is wrong and Iron Claw continues to pursue quickly, Pang Wenying will be in great trouble.Iron Claw's 1,000-man army is enough to completely wipe out more than 200 people here in a short period of time. Fortunately, we have received information that Iron Claw is stationed in Dai Town.But this also means that thousands of people in the "slaughter room" will be rested and ready for the next decisive battle... Camping in the wilderness under the clear starry sky, listening to the neighing of horses and the sound of the wind... Pang Wenying had the illusion of returning to the age of blood in the prime of life.But now that none of the "Four Disciples" is around, Pang Wenying feels even more lonely. "Runsheng." Pang Wenying looked at the new student sitting next to him. "Your brother should have arrived in Piaocheng by now?" "En." Yu Runsheng nodded. "Now they should have circled to the southwest of Piaocheng. I hope they won't be discovered before they reach the south gate." "What would you think if all your brothers died that night?" "I've never thought of such a thing." Yu Runsheng smiled. "I never imagined the impossible." "Very good. Very good..." Pang Wenying nodded, stroking her silver beard. "Runsheng, you are so lucky to have such a brother." "I think so too." "Alas..." Pang Wenying sighed and said, "Runsheng, have I told you about the return of my disciple Yan Tian?" Yu Runsheng shook his head. "But I've heard Brother Zhuo say something. Brother Yan was only thirty-six years old when he left, right? What a pity." "Well. If he lived to this day, Piaocheng might have belonged to 'Feng Yilong' long ago. I hate that stray arrow..." "Master Pang, have you ever thought that Senior Brother Yan might have been killed by his own people?" "What did you say?" Pang Wenying's hand stroking her beard was stiff. "That is to say, maybe some people don't want to see that your camp is too strong..." Pang Wenying had never thought of it this way—not because he couldn't think of it with his wisdom, but because he didn't think in this direction subconsciously.If this were true, it would be terrible, and therefore none of his subordinates had ever raised this possibility with him. --Ok.After returning to the main office in Kyoto, it is necessary to investigate.Although it was more than nine years ago, there should be some clues... ——If you want to go back to Kyoto, you must first knock down the "slaughterhouse" in front of you!God, you watch me win from the sky!
The eight guards at the south gate of Piaocheng are all veterans over the age of thirty. The winter clothes hadn't been delivered from the barracks yet, the autumn wind blew through, and the guards were trembling. Finally, they couldn't bear to beg for drinks from the "slaughter house" hooligans who were guarding nearby. The guards and hooligans were talking and laughing. The "slaughterhouse" often imports private goods from outside the city, and has an excellent relationship with the city gate guards. "Hey, I heard that your family is about to start a fight?" A veteran asked the hooligan.His family members also live in the city, so of course they don't want to see bloody battles in the city. "No one can say for sure about that kind of thing. It's all caused by that old Uncle Yu." A hooligan sighed.Although he belongs to Mr. Zhu's direct lineage, he did not show contempt or disrespect when talking about old Yu Bo.Having been in the underworld for a long time, I have long understood that all struggles are only for profit. "But Boss Zhu is too ruthless this time." The words of another hooligan revealed that Zhu Ya's immediate followers were also beginning to be dissatisfied with the boss. "Even women are not spared..." "No. I don't think Boss Zhu did it." The veteran saw it clearly. "Maybe 'Feng Yilong' set the blame. I see, the inside story is not so simple..." At this moment the veteran saw a group of people hurrying across the street. More than 20 hooligans in the "slaughterhouse" immediately became vigilant and were about to draw out their knives, but found that the people who came were a group of servants, about 30 people. "What are you doing? Didn't all the men hide?..." A rogue muttered, recognizing that the leader of the guards was Lei Yi, the new acting head of the district. "Master Lei, what's the matter?" Since Lei Yi's jurisdiction includes the south gate, the guards are quite familiar with him, so they quickly greeted him respectfully. Lei Yi didn't glance at the guards, but looked at the people in the "slaughter house" coldly. "You all go home to me." "Master Lei, what the hell is this?" The hooligan was stunned. "Don't understand? Do you still want to go to the prison to eat?" Lei Yi beckoned, and thirty of his subordinates immediately pulled out sticks and waist knives, and some held ropes. "This...Master Lei, I think it's a bit of a misunderstanding. If you don't believe me, please go to the 'massacre room' and ask. We are personally sent by Mr. Zhu to guard here, and we are also in order to avoid troubles..." "I will take care of the affairs in my district." Lei Yi's livid face showed no expression. "How? Don't be ignorant of flattery." The "slaughterhouse" hooligans looked at each other.Boss Zhu strictly ordered them not to cause conflicts as much as possible, let alone the other party was a servant. "Okay, let's go back and ask Boss Zhu for instructions." The leading hooligan waved his hand and led all his subordinates to leave in the direction of Andong Street, cursing inwardly as he walked: "The stinky boss who is as big as a dog is still a temporary worker." On behalf of you, what the hell are you showing off? I’m going to file a complaint with Boss Zhu, and tomorrow he’ll tell Governor Zha that he’s going to tell you, brat, to pack up your bag!” Until the "slaughterhouse" hooligans disappeared from view, Lei Yi and other guards still stood still. "Master Lei, is there something wrong?" The old guard asked casually.He knew that black and white in the city would cause chaos, and he didn't care about the safety of the army. "Nothing." Lei Yi said and waved his hand.The guards rushed forward, captured all eight guards, quickly tied their hands and feet with ropes, and stuffed cloth strips into their mouths. The guards never thought that the guards would be rough on them, and before they could resist, they were bound like crabs one by one. Lei Yi took out eight ingots of silver and stuffed them into the guard's lapel one by one. "You guys just sleep for a while." Lei Yi knew that this group of guards had just changed shifts, and the next shift would not come to replace them until before dawn. "Before the shift change, I will ask my subordinates to let you go. Just pretend that what happened tonight never happened. As long as you don't tell it, I will give you more benefits." The guards hid the guards in a nearby house that had already been prepared. "Open the city gate." Lei Yi ordered. The guard nodded, and tried his best to remove the heavy wooden bar, and then slowly opened the thick and huge city gate inward. Wu Chaoyi, who was fully armed in black and black, crouched in a corner outside the city gate, and only then jumped out.Lei Yi hurriedly walked towards him. "You can go in." Lei Yi said softly. Wu Chaoyi nodded slightly, turned towards the woods beside the road a hundred yards away from the city gate, waved his arms and turned three times over his head. The black warrior hiding behind the trees slowly appeared like a silhouette reflected in the moonlight.The two hundred people did not make a sound, and the forty horses were all tied up with cloth strips, and the horseshoes were also wrapped in thick cloth. Lei Yi seldom panicked.In the past, when facing three thugs with knives with his bare hands in a small room, or when he ran to chase the thieves on the roof, he didn't have the slightest thought of fear. But now when he saw this ghostly surprise attack force and clearly felt the ferocious murderous aura emanating from two hundred people together, he felt a little scared. ——Sure enough, it was Xing Leng'er who had killed people. The raiding party fished silently through the city gate. When Lei Yi saw the sickle leading his mount, he already guessed that he was the one who killed Liu Ye Tienail.They had never met before. What a strange man, Lei Yi thought.Only Yu Runsheng could take such a man for his own use. When Di Bin passed by Lei Yi, he said softly, "Thank you." "No. I have my own reasons for doing so." "I know." Di Bin didn't look at Lei Yi again, and was immediately busy directing the troops with gestures. Lei Yi found that this short man seemed to have changed a lot from the last time he met.And that was just a month ago.Lei Yi thought for a while before realizing what kind of change it was—— Di Bin's body is showing the shadow of Runsheng. After all the troops entered the city, Lei Yi ordered the guards to close the city gate.After seeing that the city gate was closed, Lei Yi turned around and saw the last few Xing Leng'er quickly disappearing into the dark alley, as mysterious as when they appeared just now. It was as if those two hundred people never showed up that night at all.
In fact, Pang Wenying's troops did not enter the small town of Sangma, but only temporarily stopped in the field, ready to retreat or counterattack at any time.
